PRISONERS IN GERMANY.
FEAR OF ILL-TREATMENT. BRITISH SENT TO LIBAU. LONDON. JUNE 28. In the House of Lords to-day Lord Newton, Paymaster-General, said that 2000 British prisoners had been sent to Libau and Windau, on the Baltic coast, behind the German line, where hitherto American officials had not been permitted to visit them. There was reason to fear that the prisoners were subjected to considerable hardships. There was no justification for reprisals, because the German prisoners whom Britain had sent to work in France were treated with the utmost kindness.
